CAN A CRIMINAL BECOME AN
AMERICAN CITIZEN?

Springfield Republican.
The general term of the New York
supreme court has refused to admit
Hong Yen Chang to the bar. upon the
ground that aliens can not practice law.
Chang is Yale college graduate. and
after taking the regular course at the
Columbia college law school YVES refused
naturalization papers. The New York
legislature passed special act last
spring authorizing the court to waive
the question Of his alienage. but the
court declines so to do. About ten DAYS ago
Chang succeeded in getting his natural
ization papers. and he will renew his ap-
plication for admission to the bar Law
ycrs are divided upon the question
whether he can even now be legally IL
censed to practice law. The courts

can descent Judge Sawyer OF the
United States circuit court in California
decided some years ago that this clause
excluded the Chinese from the pril-
eyes Of naturalization. Several circuit
judges have followed this decision. but
the New York court of common pleas
has taken an entirely different view. sew

This question has never been before the

A question as to whether Eaton's lumber
mills, at Barring, Me-, are in the United
States or Canada has led to the closing of
the mills, pending treasury decision.
About seventy-fivc men are thrown out of
work The mills were built in the United
States, but changes in the river course
have transferred them to the Canadian
side.
Another case of similar import from
Calais, Me-, is also before the treasury
department, i. g. as to whether electricity
is dutiable 1t seems that the plant that
furnishes the town named with electric
light is situate across the line in Canada.
This last would seem to involve a more
intricate point than that involved in the
mill plant.

Cannon City coal promises to be scal

Cannon City coal promises to be scarce
this winter. The company has sent out
a circular to their customers to the effect
that they are one thousand cars behind
on their orders and do not know when
they can fill any more. The difficulty
seems to be not a diminished output
from the mines but largely increased
consumption of that coal by the Santa
Fe railroad in consequence of its extern
sion of lines and additional requirements
for fuel;..of course the road will supply
its own wants first and then it gives
preference in transportation to classes of
freight that pay the best rates, and coal
is not of that class.

Instead of increasing the rates for
transmitting, after acquiring control of
the B. & o. telegraph lines as was gener-
ally expected and predicted by many, the
Western Union has actually reduced them
twenty per cent. The Western Union
people have always maintained that they
could afford TO give the people cheaper
service if it had monopoly of the tele-
gragh business, than ii could with the
business divided. Whether the reduc-
ton is made in accordance with that as
sertion or in view of the early assem-
bling of congress and the discussion Of
postal telegraph now going on in the
press remains TO be seen.

AN ODE TO SUMMER.

Summer is dead and the earth puts on
Its golden tints its russell and brown,
The sun shines bright over country and
town,
But the dead, leaves are rustling down.
Rustling down DER hill and DER dale
By day and night with a low sad wall
Of tender grief for days that have fed,
For friends that are gone, for hopes that
are dead.
They mourn with me, they mourn with
thee,
Each withered branch, each leafess tree,
And the wind and the leaves have requiem
sung
Ger our summers dead, DER each loved
lost one.

A Democratic protectionist, after two
years of observation abroad, writes to
the New York Tribune that he is
thoroughly convinced that the policy of
protection to American labor is the true
policy for this country, and he points to
the fact that one person in every thirty
eight of the population of Great Britain
is pauper, while such of the laboring
classes as are employed can scarcely
keep body and soul together on their
starvation wages.

The Hartford Courant, the leading
Republican paper of Connecticut, in urg-
ing its party to abandon the bloody-shirt
issue, says:
If the party managers should decide to
make the campaign of 1SSS a struggle for
the capture of ignorant voters, by the arts
of the demagogue or the boodler, they will
be very sure to find that they have not only
not secured the coveted vote, but have
greatly reduced the decent Republican
vote by reason of disgust and consequent
apathy or open opposition"
Good advice, but unfortunately it
comes too late. There is no doubt but
that sentiment pervaded the northern
mind and there was manifested almost
universal desire for the attainment of
such condition, but the desire has been
met with such cold rebuff on the part Of
the south that it may become a matter Of
Self-defense.

his declining to permit the use of his

For some years the Argentine republic
has offered 100000 a year bounty for
any American company which would es-
tablish a steamship line between that
country and New York. The offer was
conditioned on the line receiving a like
support from the United States. 1t
would have been good thing to do, but
congress would not consent, and now
the line goes into English hands. There
Is little chance of the American COM
mercial marine regaining its old place
until congress is ready to give it a liberal
lift.

the fact, as they allege, that the recent

The San Francisco Chronicle, one of
the best informed political papers on the
Pacific coast, briefly casts up the outlook
for the coming presidential campaign in
the following terse style:
The Pacific coast is just as strong for
Blaine as it was three years ago, and if it is
fight between Blaine and Cleveland next
year Blaine will carry all the Pacific coast
states just as he did before If Cleveland
ever had any strength in the Pacific states
his last act-the proclamation he issued
recently renewing the Hawaiian treaty for
seven years-would kill him. This is a
matter that the majority of the people of
the Pacific coast are very deeply interest
ed in.

GOOD NEWS FOR MINERS.
The Golden Gate Hyde aulic Mine Con-
yerted into a Drift Mine.


The famed Golden Gate hydraulic mine
OF Smartsvil!e-iamed because Of its rich
ness-has been found to pay we'll by the
drifting process and by drifting it will
hereafter be worked. 1t is supposed that
at least 100 men will thus find employment
year in and year out. This being the case
the beautiful little town of Smartsville will
experience in measure its former pros
perity, after years of waiting. The Marys-
vile Democrat of July 9th has the follow
ing in this connection
yesterday Charley Compton and W.
w. Chamberlain, of Smartsyille, came be-
fore the Board ofSupervisors of this county
with petition, setting forth that they are
the lessees of the Golden Gate mine al
Smartsville, commonly known as the Pat
Campbell mine; that they now propose to
work the said mine as a drift mine that
they have struck very rich drift, and that
all they lack of being able to successfully
operate the mine is to get the old tunnel
fiume and cut heretofore used in hydrau-
licking) open so as to have drainage for the
mine, and that the said tunnel, cut and
tiume must be opened up by sluicing the
material now in them through the tunnel
and into the ravine adjoining the river, re-
quiring two or three hours work therefore
they petitioned the Board to give its con-
sent to allow them to then sluice the ma
terial out. Supervisors Malalley, Arnold
and Pine signed permit, and the petition
ers went home last night rejoicing. They
think they will be able to give employment
at fair wages to about 30 men. This will
revive things at Smartsville, and create a
large trade for Marysville, and will not in
any sense damage the Yuba river more
than any other quartz or drift mine y

Ireccpt of civilization and every obliga-
ton of citizenship to stand by the conclu-
sions of the jury to which has been COM
mitted Judgment of the facts and the de-
termination of the measure of punishment.
No man who claims his life and property
under the guards of the laws of the social
compact has right to say that the judg-
ment, no matter what it may be, at
tanned by the methods provided by
society in its wisdom, has not
been justly reached. To assail it and re-
verse it by mob violence is to commit
treason against civilized jurisprudence
and the administration of justice
The people Of Colusa, who have been
law-abiding in an eminent degree, as is the
strong tendency of all agricultural COM
munities, Will be as quick to perceive the
irrefutable logic of this reasoning as those
viewing the special case from the calm of
distance
If California communities are to give
fair trials to criminals, Of what avail will
they be if their results are not allowed to
stand, however distasteful? If they are to
subject human life to the peril Of trial for
its further prolongation, but deny to it the
benefit of the judgment rendered according
to civilized methods, the orderly system is
no better than that which denies all protec-
ton, except such as 4 mob in its wild and
unreasoning clemency may see fit to grant
The community that can afford to sub
scribe to such a method of administering
punishment practically renders trial by
established Courts mockery, and one that
it were better not to make at all.
The process of the law through the
agency of Court and jury having been in
voked, and a judgment regularly, fairly,
impartially reached, the people of Colusa
were bound by every consideration that
secures them in life and property, and that
fortifies their claim to civilization, to see
to it that the judgment stood. In the
light of every higher consideration, the
hanging of Hong Di by mob must be I'M
equiyocally condemned, for it was an I'M
justifiable homicide and an assassination,
and an outrage upon the peace and order
of eoc;a+v
